The generation of microbubbles upon the collision and interaction of liquid bodies in a gaseous environment is a ubiquitous process in two-phase flows, including large-scale phenomena like ship wakes, breaking waves and rain showers. These…
We investigate the process of formation of large-scale structures in a turbulent flow confined in a thin layer. By means of direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations, forced at an intermediate scale, we obtain a split of…
In three-dimensional turbulent flows energy is supplied at large scales and cascades down to the smallest scales where viscosity dominates. The flux of energy through scales implies the generation of small scales from larger ones, which is…
Many new models of wave turbulence -- frozen, mesoscopic, laminated, decaying, sand-pile, etc. -- have been developed in the last decade aiming to solve problems seemingly not solvable in the framework of the existing wave turbulence theory…
Turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection displays a large-scale order in the form of rolls and cells on lengths larger than the layer height once the fluctuations of temperature and velocity are removed. These turbulent superstructures are…
A model for gas bubble behavior in irradiated amorphous $U_3Si_2$ is generalized to take into account local influence of sinks for point defects and gas atoms as far as defect clustering resulting in growth of dislocation loops. A…
From air-sea gas exchange, oil pollution, to bioreactors, the ubiquitous fragmentation of bubbles/drops in turbulence has been modelled by relying on the classical Kolmogorov-Hinze paradigm since the 1950s. This framework hypothesizes that…
We study the conditions for disk galaxies to produce superbubbles that can break out of the disk and produce a galactic wind. We argue that the threshold surface density of supernovae rate for seeding a wind depends on the ability of…
In a companion paper, we develop a theory for the evolution of stellar wind driven bubbles in dense, turbulent clouds. This theory proposes that turbulent mixing at a fractal bubble-shell interface leads to highly efficient cooling, in…
Interstellar bubbles appear to be smaller in observations than expected from calculations. Instabilities at the shell boundaries create three-dimensional ef- fects, and are probably responsible for part of this discrepancy. We investigate…
The occurrence of swarms of small bubbles in a variety of industrial systems enhances their performance. However, the effects that size polydispersity may produce on the stability of kinematic waves, the gain factor, mean bubble velocity,…
The formation, growth and detachment of gas bubbles on electrodes are omnipresent in electrolysis and other gas-producing chemical processes. To better understand their role in the mass transfer efficiency, we perform experiments involving…
We introduce a model for the turbulent energy cascade aimed at studying the effect of dynamical scaling on intermittency. In particular, we show that by slowing down the energy transfer mechanism for fixed energy flux, intermittency…
Turbulent superstructures, i.e. large-scale flow structures in turbulent flows, play a crucial role in many geo- and astrophysical settings. In turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection, for example, horizontally extended coherent…
We discuss the nature of the velocity dispersion vs. size relation for molecular clouds. In particular, we add to previous observational results showing that the velocity dispersions in molecular clouds and cores are not purely functions of…
The response of a medium to a sudden localized perturbation (a "splash") will be explained for isotropic media within the framework of linear response theory. In this theory splashes result from the interference of the collective…
Recent developments of the weak turbulence theory applied to internal waves exhibit a power-law solution of the kinetic energy equation close to the oceanic Garrett \& Munk spectrum, confirming weakly nonlinear wave interactions as a likely…
The `local scaling' hypothesis, first introduced by Nieuwstadt two decades ago, describes the turbulence structure of stable boundary layers in a very succinct way and is an integral part of numerous local closure-based numerical weather…

Turbulence is a widely observed state of fluid flows, characterized by complex, nonlinear interactions between motions across a broad spectrum of length and time scales. While turbulence is ubiquitous, from teacups to planetary atmospheres,…
